"Barely a hotel at all, Avalon Coastal Retreat is a stunning modernist three-bedroom house on the east coast of Tasmania. The sea views through the house’s glass walls are extraordinary, but the interiors give them a run for their money, thanks to the fine work of local architect Craig Rosevear. A secluded beach lies at the bottom of a walking path, and wetsuits and boogie boards are available if you’re feeling brave." - Mark Fedeli
